Now Garcia has lashed out against DNC chair and Broward County-area Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz for betraying him.Garcia was identified by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as a possible candidate to take on Rivera. Garcia said he got calls from high-powered Dems, and they even called his wife to encourage to run. Garcia accepted the overtures and announced his campaign, but says that he hasn't received the support he thought he would.

He says that Wasserman Schultz has refused to help him out in fundraising and repeatedly put off meeting him.

Her only comment on his fundraising?

"Boy, you guys are pathetic. You didn't raise enough money," she said at a party event in D.C., according to Garcia.

Earlier this week Garcia got a call from Alex Penelas himself. The former mayor told the State Rep. that he had meet with Wasserman Schultz and DCCC chair Rep. Steve Israel about entering the race. That was news to Garcia.

Garcia says he's called Rep. Israel, but the NY lawmaker has yet to bother to get back to him.

Well, this certainly seems like a big mess. Leave it to the Democratic party to screw up one of their best shots at knocking off a Republican Congressman in 2012.

Yet another Cuban-American dem getting screwed over by Washerface Schultz. She did the same bullshit in 2008 with Martinez and Garcia when they were taking on the Diaz-Balart bros. Hopefully Obama himself comes down here and campaigns for Garcia, that's about the only way it seems he would get any help.
